Build a tree of knowledge wishes! Share a drawing of a tree with a lot of branches with the participants (in a shared document like cryptpad). Each participant should add a few leaves to it; the leaves should contain one or two or more words which will be a particular knowledge that the person wishes to be preserved for the future of humanity.

On the idea of controls in the current society
Divide the whole team into say 5 groups and assign one material for each to read, research and discuss on the subjects in the material. Then on the fifth day they have to present at-least one concept from the reading material in any form: it can be a small video, just express each one in the group, a short poem, a painting etc. Only rule is everyone in the group should participate in the creation. The day they present their work/ideas, there can also be a discussion between the groups to add their experience on the topic (moderator should not be biased on any topic and should be capable of initiating questions).

Remind mentors to add their ideas to ideas list.

Concept of Free Software

not in a direct way- start from historical fights for free knowledge and then come to gnu projects story (a person who speaks with good clarity with appropriate words should handle this);
-
(Praveen) discuss about how software affects our lives - from medical devices connected to our bodies, electronic voting machines deciding our rulers, to big corporations influencing our behaviors and decisions by collecting our personal data and building personal profiles. So people who control these software can control our lives.
-
A film streaming and discussion: 'Batallie du libre' or 'internets own boy' or any other movie/documentary that can give thoughts on FS.
